Abstract
Disclosed are an automatic abrasion compensation system of a lower plate and a wafer lapping apparatus having the same. The automatic abrasion compensation system reduces wafer misloading and errors in wafer loading inspection occurring when the distance between the lower plate and a transfer robot is gradually increased due to abrasion of the lower plate during a lapping process. The automatic abrasion compensation system includes an ultrasonic sensor provided on the transfer robot, a jig located directly under the ultrasonic sensor and mounted on the lower plate, a controller configured to acquire measurement distance information by measuring a distance from the jig through the ultrasonic sensor, to compare the measurement distance information with set reference distance information and to generate an adjustment control signal, and a driver configured to automatically adjust a Z-axis position of the transfer robot depending on the adjustment control signal transmitted by the controller.
